Berdych to take on Kazakhstan in Davis Cup

Czech tennis player Tomáš Berdych has recovered from a muscle injury and will be playing in the first round of the Davis Cup next week in Ostrava, where he will face Kazakhstan. A thigh injury caused Berdych to resign a semi-final match against world number three Novak Djoković in Dubai on Friday. The absence of the top seed Czech would have been a major setback for the national team, with Radek Štěpánek also out due to illness.
